Question

Juanita has saved 35% of the money for a bike. She has saved $63 dollars. How much does the bike cost?

Answer 1

Answer:

The total cost of the bike is $180.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Juanita has saved 35% of the money for a bike.

Let the total cost of the bike = x

As she has saved $63 dollars which represents the 35% of the money for a bike.

In other words, 35% of the total cost is $63 dollars.

As the total cost = x

Thus,

35% of x = 63

$\frac{35}{100}x=63$

Multiply both sides by 20

$20\times \frac{35}{100}x=63\times \:20$

simplify

$7x=1260$

Divide both sides by 7

$\frac{7x}{7}=\frac{1260}{7}$

Simplify

$x=180$ $

Thus, the total cost of the bike is $180.
